seriously i went to a middle school that had a high immigrant population and my sixth grade teacher saw me reading of mice and mens and decided to have the entire class read it together nigger was in there a few times and we even had it on a spelling test that used words from the book none of us got up in arms about it because it had a socialhistorical context within the book pretending that it never happened and trying to erase history only leads to the same mistakes being repeated
